With Tortured Poets Department earning a nod in the coveted category, the musician has now been
nominated for all four of her most recent albums
Taylor Swift has extended her Album of the Year nominations streak at the Grammy Awards. All four
albums the musician has released since Folklore have been recognized in the coveted category, including
her latest effort The Tortured Poets Department. The nod marks Swift’s seventh Album of the Year
nomination, the most of any woman in Grammy Awards history, breaking her tie with Barbra Streisand.
The Tortured Poets Department is joined in the Album of the Year category with Beyonce’s Cowboy
Carter, Charli XCX’s Brat, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a
Midwest Princess, André 3000’s New Blue Sun, and Jacob Collier’s Djesse Vol. 4.
The album also scored a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album, a category Swift has been consistently
nominated in for nearly every album she’s released since pivoting to pop in 1989, with the exception of
Evermore. Only two albums from that period, Reputation and Lover, were not also nominated for Album of
the Year.
Out of her seven nominations, Swift has taken home four Album of the Year trophies in her career. The
first was for Fearless, which made her the youngest artist to win in the category at 20 years old. She held
the record for a decade before being surpassed by an 18-year-old Billie Eilish in 2020. Swift won again in
2016 with 1989, earned another in 2021 with Folklore, and was awarded for the fourth time for Midnights
at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Swift’s fourth Album of the Year win made her the artist with the most career
wins in the category. She surpassed three-time winners Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon, and Stevie Wonder.
